Luo Xuan said, "Go and do your job! If you are very gloomy, then no matter what you look at, it will be gloomy.

Maybe you can't stand the way people here do things... But you and I are going to live here for a long time, so I advise you to look at the positive and sunny side!

"Over time, you may find that they still have unique advantages."

Lao Min nodded, "Maybe you are right."

While talking.

Lao Min was dismantling the bed board.

The removed bamboo pieces are easy to burn.

Since Luoxuan's rice is stored in a space, it is not convenient to take it out for cooking.

So Luo Xuan first boiled water and started cooking mushroom soup.

When Old Min saw Luo Xuan, when he used a match to light a fire, he just rubbed it on the phosphorus piece of the matchbox.

Then he said, "Classmate Luo Xuan, please use it sparingly. You just came here with matches, and you think they are not that valuable."

When you stay here for a long time, you will know that it is not easy to go out and buy a box of matches."

Luo Xuan chuckled, "Don't worry, I brought plenty of matches. And I even brought several lighters."

Lao Min's eyes shone, "Really? You still carry a gasoline lighter? Then don't waste this lighter."

You know, giving those girls in Miaozu a lighter will make them happy..."

Lao Min looked at Zhang Xiaoli behind him,

After all, I still didn’t have the guts,

The words were too explicit, "Luo Xuan, you are also a smart man... As a man, hey hey hey... you know."

Luo Xuan ignored him.

Use some worthless gadgets to deceive those big girls?

Grab the bamboo shoots!

Lao Min turned around and went out.

He reached out from under the eaves outside, took out a dry and dried pheasant, and cleaned it carefully.

Chop it again, chop it, and throw it into the mushroom soup.

It takes a lot of time to cook the air-dried chicken well. The three of them would squat in the room, making soup and chatting.

"Luo Xuan! Luo Xuan, come out quickly and get your food."

Namu carried a bag woven from her own homespun cloth on her head. Inside was Luo Xuan, the ration for the past half month: 14 kilograms.

Zhang Xiaoli’s share of rations,

A girl named Na Li carried it and pulled it over to Luo Xuan and others.

People here don't seem to have the habit of carrying goods on their shoulders, nor do they have the concept of using backpacks.

When carrying something, it is almost always carried on the head.

Luo Xuan and Lao Min came out of the house and took the food before they could start cooking.

This is really a veritable "waiting for the rice to be cooked".

"Namu, can you go back to the village and find some people to help?"

Luo Xuan said, "This house is too small to live in. I want to build three new bamboo houses on that flat land a little ahead."

"I'll pay those who help."

Luo Xuan added, "Look, how much is appropriate for each person to pay for a day's work?"

Namu shook her head, "It's just to help build a bamboo house. That job is quick and easy. You don't need to pay me, as long as you can take care of their food."

Luo Xuan chuckled, "Then you go back to the village and find someone to help.

I will take care of their lunch and dinner today. But these houses must be built before tonight."

Namu was shocked, "You actually gave them two meals?"

Now it was Luo Xuan's turn to be surprised: When someone comes to build a house for him, let alone take care of two meals, even if he takes care of three meals a day.

Isn’t that normal!

Old Min smiled and said, "Classmate Helix, you probably don't know yet, right? The people here only eat two meals a day.

I usually have a meal around 10 a.m. and another meal at 4 or 5 p.m.”

There are actually quite a few places where you can have two meals a day.

Including outside the Great Wall, on the Loess Plateau.

During this period, they only had two meals a day.

Luo Xuan looked at the sky and estimated that the time now should be around 10 o'clock in the morning.

So Luo Xuan looked at Lao Min and said, "We're hiring someone here to help with the work. You should know the specific market prices, right?"

Lao Min nodded, "I know. Okay, let me take care of this matter, and you can leave it alone."

When asking others to help with work in rural areas, every place actually has its own set of mature unspoken rules.

This kind of thing is not explicitly stipulated, but everyone unanimously agrees and acquiesces to this market trend.

No matter whether it is to pay them any amount of wages; or to ask them to take care of their meals, hand them cigarettes, etc.

It all has a market price.

If anyone pretends to be generous and extravagant rashly, he must pay a high salary.

If you treat these working people to a meal, the food is really good.

People who work are naturally happy.

But that person,

You will be secretly cursed by other people!

For example, if you hire a craftsman and the day's wages are eighty cents, no one should pay him one dollar.

Otherwise,

This is considered to be driving up wages and sabotaging the market...it will be attacked by people in groups.

"I think it's better to give them two meals today."

Lao Min looked at the sky,

He opened his mouth and said, "Classmate Luo Xuan, you have to be mentally prepared! Here are 10 girls to help you work... After two meals, I am afraid that at least 18 kilograms of food will be eaten by you."

People in this period generally have a large appetite.

Especially when eating other people's food, they are very harsh.

Today in the stockade, a total of 28 kilograms of grain were brought to me. At this time, more than half of it was killed!

That's why Old Min felt sorry for Luo Xuan: In one day, 18 kilograms of grain were killed.
Chapter completed!
